Network storage is a concept that many people use without a second thought in corporate environments, but what about at home? Count the number of PCs in your house and tell me it wouldn't be nice to have one central location for backups, video and music storage, and everything else. All that and much more is readily available in a Network Attached Storage server. The QNAP TS-259 Pro NAS server uses a custom Linux distro and a powerful, energy-efficient 1.66GHz Intel Atom D510 CPU with 1GB of DDR2-800 memory to eliminate any potential bottlenecks. Dual Intel Gigabit Ethernet controllers allow failover safety and teaming, while two SATA drive bays offer single disk, JBOD, and RAID 0/1 configurations. Benchmark Reviews examines the QNAP TS-259 Pro in detail here, and tests its performance against a wide variety of NAS servers. We also have a pleasent surprise for Win7 users.

Chances are you are not familiar with Proware Technology and to be honest we really didn’t know them either, at least until a couple of months ago when they asked us to have a look at their MiniEPICa Series EP-m501-AA DAS enclosure. Getting to know Proware after that review was quite easy; the MiniEPICa really rocked our world by accepting a wide range of 2.5 inch drives including SSDs and connecting to a system via eSATA. The box was so small that I couldn’t keep it on the floor by my desktop without kicking it half way across the room every time, forgetting it was there.

We literally set this fire- and water-resistant external hard drive on fire. Will it survive? Check it out!

There are a lot of hard drive enclosures out there. No, really! Go punch "USB HDD enclosure" into Google or NewEgg some time, you'll be buried in them. This makes it rather hard for any one enclosure to have much success. Generally, the only way to stand out is to make it a funny shape, or offer some unusual feature. IN-WIN have decided to do both with the AMMO 2.5" HDD enclosure, shaping it like the magazine of an AR-15 and offering hardware-based encryption with RFID token-based access. Is this combination enough to make it worth your while? Let's find out.

Als zweite SSD Sandforce-Controller sehen wir uns die OCZ Vertex 2 genauer an und arbeiten die Stärken und Schwächen des Intel- und Indilinx-Konkurrenten im Detail heraus. Dabei gehen wir insbesondere auch auf eine Eigenheit der Sandforce-Chips, die Datenkompression zwecks höherer Übertragungsgeschwindigkeit, ein.

Today we are going to be looking at the Buffalo 128GB Microstation SSD drive which is based around a JMicron JMF612 controller, has a 64MB DRAM cache and offers speeds up to 240 MB/s read and 155 MB/s write.

Es ist soweit, nach unserem im Februar veröffentlichten ersten SSD Roundup, folgt jetzt der zweite Teil. Bei der Auswahl der Testprobanden konnten wir auf zwei nagelneue Modelle von Corsair und OCZ mit dem vielversprechenden Sandforce SF-1200 Controller zurückgreifen, der über einige Besonderheiten verfügt, auf die wir im weiteren Verlauf des Reviews noch dezidierter eingehen werden. Darüber hinaus präsentieren wir auch einen Anwärter auf den Preis-Leistungs-Thron von Super Talent, die Ultradrive GX SSD erfreut sich allergrößter Beliebtheit, ein stichhaltiges Argument also, um dies eingehend zu überprüfen. Selbstverständlich vergleichen wir in diesem Part II die Testresultate mit denen des ersten Teils und den damals ebenfalls verwendeten HDDs, so daß euch keine wichtigen Eckdaten entgehen. Als einzige neue HDD haben wir die Samsung F4 noch integriert, damit auch in diesem Bereich die Aktualität gegeben ist.
Schauen wir uns also gemeinsam an, welche technischen Neuerungen der Sandforce Controller zu bieten hat und ob er die bisherigen Spitzenreiter in die Schranken verweisen konnte, dazu wünschen wir viel Vergnügen...

Patriot's Bolt series of flash drives prove that file security doesn't have to come at a premium price. $25 for the 8GB model is easy on the wallet, and it performs just as well as any other flash drive out there and has a sleek look to boot. The AES 256-bit hardware encryption will keep your files safe in the event the drive gets lost or stolen, and the built-in software is straightforward and works great right out of the box.

If you don't follow the SSD market like a hawk you may have missed Mushkin's recent rise to fame. Mushkin was the first SSD maker to announce, release, ship, and sell an extended capacity SandForce SF-1200 based SSD. At the same time I was writing about OCZ's Vertex 2 E, one of only a few in the country, Mushkin already had drives at Newegg and selling them at prices lower than anyone else's pre-MP2 releases.

Today we will look at the SSDNow V+ 128 GB solid-state drive model which is advertised to run at 230MB/s read and 180MB/s write speeds. These are some pretty impressive numbers for most any type of drive medium. According to Kingston "the new SSDNow V+ is an ideal solid-state drive for high-level consumers and in corporate environments where efficiency and performance are important as more system resources are in use. The second generation of the V+ series offers four capacities ranging from 64 GB to 512 GB. Additional features includes faster performance, a switch from the Intel controller to a Toshiba one and Windows 7 TRIM support.
